The LP and cassette cover imitate the first Doors
album. The US CD has a different cover and the insert unfolds into an inverted
cross. According to Glenn Danzig, the word "lucifuge" means "to shun the
light." The first pressing cassette inlay cards had lyrics in black ink on a
white background; later pressings used white lettering on a black background.

unavailable on other formats. For unknown reasons, the lyrics included with the
CD differ slightly from those of the LP. and cassette. The Japanese version of
the CD has a regular lyrics booklet in place of the inverted cross insert.
